# Featherweight Furniture The Light-Room by Bram Greenen Weighs Only 16.5 Pounds By Meghan Young | Published 2011-03-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-room References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/18/16-5-lb-room/) & [studiogeenen](http://www.studiogeenen.com/) The Light-Room seem absolutely heavenly for a couple of reasons. The most obviously has to do with its [all-white aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel1), yet it is another unique feature that makes me think of a rather heavenly perch: The Light-Room is so named because of its [featherweight furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-electric-wheelchair). The Light-Room weighs a whopping 16.5 pounds. This is impressive considering it is comprised of five pieces: the Dyneema Chair, the Tensile Table, the Gridshelf, the SLS-Chair and the Gaudi Stool. Designed by Bram Greenen, the Light-Room uses materials such as kevlar, silk, aluminum and woven dyneema to "reduce energy consumption during production and transport, and minimize the use of materials without sacrificing style," according to [Yanko Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture).
